We are open | Christmas @ GOST | Grace is back | Greece & Tapestries
We are open!
It's so good to be open again and it was the best feeling to fling the doors wide for visitors on
Friday 29 October! We had an amazing Spring garden which many have missed out on seeing.
Christmas @ GOST
We are thrilled that many of our artists have been able to create new works especially made for GOST. This means so much as we can offer bespoke gifts for you to give to loved ones or even yourself! We are rolling out the works on Social Media twice a week so keep an eye on those spaces or the online shop to see the new works pop up Wednesday and Sunday nights.
Below are works recently featured in October as we had to get in early to help Australia Post with their inevitable delays...and it wasn't even Christmas yet! We highly recommend you get in early to avoid disappointment especially if posting gifts interstate.
We will be open 7 days a week as of 11 November 2021
Which means more time for you to come in any day. Remember if you can't make 11am to 4pm contact Anne to see her outside of these hours. She's more than happy to open by appointment.

Grace is back!
Great things come in little packages | save the dates
Well, it's been the longest campaign ever! As you all know, we had a fabulous collaboration with Melbourne artist Grace Brown, Little National Hotel in Canberra and Lake George Winery in NSW. The exhibition and special weekend staycation was postponed in 2020 and now 2021 due to the pandemic. I have to say that I've been incredibly grateful all collaborators have committed to this initiative and to see it shine again for 11-13 February 2022.
So, if you are looking for the perfect Christmas present (or that special occasion) look no further than booking a special weekend in Canberra for a meet and greet with Grace and co, workshops with Grace, Wine to vine tours with Sarah and a private exhibition opening at GOST. We look forward to seeing you all in the Summer of 2022!

Greece & Tapestries
ooh! did that peak your curiosity? We are thrilled artists in the GOST stable continue to shine in their professional arts practice. Given what a tough two years it’s been for everyone, especially those in the arts, it's lovely to hear good news. Again, I can't list everyone so a little spotlight on Fran & Lee. More info after images.
